You are my kind of gal flyingrose! - Bravo, there are enough wimp boys in this industry that "does what the client says" and cry "the client is always right".. bah humbug.. not true - the client doesn't know and is looking for direction... hehhe.. I just show them my whip from time to time, it does the trick!

I totally agree. That is what is wrong with corporations - too many middle manager "yes" men trying to pretend all is well. Many times I resisted the temptation to buy a case of the book "The Emperor's New Clothes" so I could send one each to all the clueless trying to hide the obvious from upper management.
I only work with people who are open-minded, action-oriented, willing to make decisions, and trainable. Some clients you just can't save from themselves so I send them on to be someone else's challenge. Life is TOOOO short.
Communication is the most important aspect of anything I do and the main reason any project fails to attain the highest level of success. It is certainly the greatest challenge I face when working with clients.
It amazes me how many intelligent people fail to answer specific, simple questions posed repeatedly. Or how many fail to ask for what they want and then are unhappy that they didn't get it.

Typically smaller firms also have greater leeway when it comes to influencing key business componenets like vision, objectives, etc.
Great topic friends :P
